David Bowie Tribute

David Bowie

It’s been a week since David Bowie passed, and guess what – it won’t stop sucking. It’s unfortunate and disappointing to lose a legend like him, but the legacy he left behind is great and wonderful, and he’s touched and influenced so many people. It’s pretty amazing that one can leave behind what he left behind, and that makes for such an extraordinary life. David Bowie will forever be remembered that way.

I compiled a tiny list of pretty wonderful David Bowie cover songs. My top five. I’m sure there are so many more great ones out there, so feel free to share!

My Top Horror Movie Picks

Horror Movie Finger Puppets

(Some horror movie finger puppets my brother made which are pretty hilarious. You get a gold star if you can name these five!)

While Halloween is still kinda fresh, I still want to linger on the topic of horror movies. It’s the most appropriate time of the year to talk about horror movies and I still want to get in a few more words before we all start thinking about Thanksgiving. Cool? Cool.

Well, the past few days I’ve been watching a lot of horror flicks. After watching all the Halloweens (original 1 – 5 + remake), I thought about what I like in horror movies. I guess what draws me in is a good story line bordering thriller, twists and turns, obviously a high creep factor, and most of the time no monster-like killer. I made myself a list, and I’m gonna share it. Most of these are kinda obscure. I kinda like it like that though.

Craft Fairs

Here are a couple of things I bought from some local craft fairs I went to this weekend. ↑ Almond Rose body butter and a pretty beaded bracelet from this “psychic fair” I attended.
Honestly though, I’m not here to talk about what I bought.

In theory, craft fairs are an amazing concept. You have a chance to sell your products while promoting yourself and the things you make. You get the exposure and a way to connect with your customers. All in all, it seems like such a good deal.
But, can we talk about how awkward they are?

Karaoke Songs That Can Never Go Wrong

Karaoke List

So I feel confident saying that I’ve done enough karaoke to be comfortable sharing my “go to” list that I don’t think can really go wrong, just as the title states.
Depending on the crowd and your mood, sometimes these songs don’t quite make the dent you think they would. From my experience, 70% of the time these songs are crowd pleasers and can induce a massive sing alongs. I always love it when that happens.

90’s Fashion In Films

I had just arrived home on Saturday from my three month long trip and am real excited to be back. While I prepare my photos for the upcoming posts that will be more in depth about my trip than what I was able to post while in Greece, I’ll post my weekly entertaining post today that I accidentally neglected the past couple of weeks.
So here we go.

The visual aspects of movies are something that is hard to ignore. I wouldn’t call myself fashion obsessive, but I appreciate fashion that is featured in films. Obviously eccentric styles are my favorites as I have shown here.

Surfing The Music Wave ~~~

Surf Rock

Making mini music lists is becoming a thing I’ve been enjoying. Picking a topic and rolling with it via Youtube, BAM. Mini music list.

Any of y’all fans of surf rock? It originated in the 60’s influenced by the surf culture under the California sun. It’s a sound that I thoroughly enjoy – that electric guitar and reverb gets me. I adore it.

For The Love Of Coloring Books

Tibetan coloring book

(A coloring book I purchased in Portland featuring Tibetan art.)

As I have written previously about rediscovering your hobbies, I still feel that everyone forgets about the simple things in life. I think it’s important to take a step back and give love to the things that make you happy. As you can see, I’m big into the arts as it has been with me throughout my life journey, and it will be with me till the end. I will always preach for the arts.

I will also preach for coloring books. Sounds silly? Well, hear me out.

Current Style Inspirations

I’m not fashion obsessive, and I never know what’s trending. I’m pretty oblivious to what’s going on in the fashion world. I honestly still wear clothes that I bought ten+ years ago. With that said, I do check out some fashion blogs time to time.

Maybe talking about style as opposed to fashion is the better term to use. I don’t think I have a specific style, and I don’t think a specific style attracts me. I pick and choose what I like which inspires me to make and customize everything I own or want to own. As long as it’s fun and comfortable, I’m happy.

The Best Of The Reunited

Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland Fan Art

The past five years have been a big deal for older bands reuniting, and I’ve been lucky to have attended quite a number of shows I would have never imagined would happen. As a music lover, and especially a lover of the 90’s, it’s been an exciting bunch of years for my beloved 90’s bands resurrecting.

Here are some bands I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.
